WRITING PROJECT
you will return to the CORE READING you wrote about in Writing Project 1 and write a rhetorical analysis of
that core reading. This time you will analyze its rhetorical features—paying attention to its rhetorical
situation, its use of persuasive appeals or proofs, as well as linguistic and rhetorical elements such as
language, writing style, structure or organization, imagery, etc.—in order to address and answer “three main
questions” about the core reading:
• “What are the main [rhetorical] features” of the core reading?
• “How do those features affect the intended audience” for the core reading?
• “Why did the writer include those features” and write the core reading in the ways he or she did?
(Yagelski 212)
Step 1 of CHAPTER 8 will guide you as develop questions about the rhetorical features of your core reading.
Besides CHAPTER 8, you should also consult Learning Activities in Class Session 5 and Sessions 3 & 4 Class
Discussion about the core readings to deepen your thinking and prepare for your first draft.
For this project, your audience will consist of your instructor and other members of the class. To develop a
rhetorical context for this project, specifically describe your Audience, Time, Place, and Purpose from Step
2 in CHAPTER 3 as well as the “Examine the Relevance” questions in Step 2 of CHAPTER 8. What you write for
Step 2 will be your situation analysis, which you will submit as part of your first draft, due in Class
Session 5. See Assignment Specifics, below, for information on writing the situation analysis.
Your medium for this project will be a formal academic manuscript and must meet the guidelines listed below.
Instruction on these guidelines can be found in CHAPTERS 24 or 25 of our textbook and at the Purdue OWL
website (links in Resources).
• Minimum 750 words for the first draft; minimum 1000 words for the final draft; both drafts double-
spaced in 12-point Times New Roman font
• Formatted according to either APA or MLA style (as specified by your instructor).
• Use of correct in-text citations of any ideas or information borrowed from source, including the core
reading.
